After inauguration protests fizzled, President’s Day was scheduled for a soft relaunch of the ‘resistance’ under the umbrella of something called 50501 Movement which called for conducting Not My President protests in all 50 states.

They met that relatively low bar (probably) but the rallies were very underwhelming compared to Trump’s first term. If the media hadn’t reported on them with lots of close up photos to hide the low sizes of the latest ‘resistance’ rallies, no one would even know they had taken place.

Who’s behind them?

The 50501 Movement pretends to be a grass roots effort, a hashtag born out of social media activism, but anyone who has been alive and paying attention for the last generation, will be skeptical about that.

And they have good reason to be.

Behind it appears to be ‘The Political Revolution PAC’ which was spun off from the Bernie Sanders campaign. Its preference for calling itself PolRev should be setting off loud alarm bells for anyone familiar with Antifa and the language of Marxist and Communist groups.

The Political Revolution PAC was announced after Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton, but it doesn’t seem to have done much in that time beyond maintaining a Reddit sub and talking about creating its own political party.

The launch of this protest movement also seems to tie in with Bernie’s new leftist tour across the country. Bernie doesn’t actually make decisions, any more than Biden did (beyond getting sinecures for his wife’s kids, much like Biden did for Hunter, the two men are really very similar, but maybe that’s just D.C. politics) so assume that some folks are pulling the strings to relaunch the brand.
